Is the Eye colour the only difference between Cremello & Albino and at the end of the day this mare was breeding Palomino's on a regular basis. |

Hi Sue,
As far as I understand it there are no albino horses!
Albinism I believe is created when a baby receives 2 recessive genes from its parents (one from each) As these genes are recessive the parents never show any signs of albinism. This genetic situation has apparently not been found in horses. The cream gene which causes a cremello is not a recessive gene and can be seen in the parents ie Palomino, Dun, Cremmello.
Hope that helps!

Cremmello is a Homozygote with chestnut as base colour. Genotype: -- ee Cr Cr It has cream to white coloured hairs, pink skin and blue eyes. Perlino is a Homozygote with black base colour. Genotype: aa E- Cr Cr Looks more pearly white probably a bit less white in hair colour, pink skin and blue eyes. Palomino is a Heterozygote Genotype -- ee Cr cr Has got reddishyellow to yellow hairs with light to nearly white mane and tail, brown to beige skin, and eyes are mostly light brown in colour. Two palominos crossed with each other get 50% palomino, 25% chestnut and 25% cremello. Safest way to produce a palomino would be to cross a chestnut with a cremello. Albino is a Homozygote. It's recessive gene: c It results in abscence of pigments in hair and skin and animals have red eyes. There are no albino horses.

Wow, that is really interesting Melynda. I've worked out from your description and details that my lad (Palomino) will be Genotype -- ee Cr cr. Both his parents were Palomino. There were lots of Chestnuts though on his fathers side and a few cremello's on his mums side. The whole genetics and colour subject interests me greatly. I always find if amazing that the same mare and stallion can produce different coloured offspring each year! I have a friend who's broodmare has produced bay, black and chestnut all to the same stallion.......seems very odd, don't you think?! The mare in question was grey and the stallion dark bay.

Hi Infosponge
I have just managed to get hold of all the Palomino magazines from 1968 to date.
Here is a picture of Mrs. Munday's Sundowner from the Spring 1973 magazine: [img][/ihttp://farm2.static.flickr.com/1020/1422595999_2bc50c4835_m.jpgmg]
It says in the advert that Sundowner was born 1961 and was by Stargard out of Tormella (AHSB)Bred from Canadian imported stock). He was 15.2hh Plaomino and his stud fee was £40 in 1973.
I have come across loads of pictures from these threads including of Shepley Sundancer and Cromer Cornetta so I will try to post them when I am next on line.
Best wishes Debbie |

Wow Debbie that's fantastic!!
Unfortunately I can't get the photo to appear - at the mo its saying image unavailable but having such good comfirmation on the breeding etc. is super on its own!
The foal that I have agreed to buy is still with Cromer Cornetta so I have taken photos of her but it will be interesting to see what you come up with when you get a chance to post these pictures you have found.
Thanks loads,
Chris |

There's no registered purebred Arab mare named Tormella, she must be a PB/PBA (?) for passing through the pal-color.. me think!

Echo Sue's last post - though I'm being a bit greedy with everyone's time as you have already helped me tremendously.
It's funny I said to my husband I don't think I could have as much interest in my own family tree but I reckon that's through fear of what you might find out, at least with the horses you know you're pretty safe!

Hi Sue and Infosponge Have just found another advert for Sundowner and it makes it clearer. It says Sundowner is by Stargard AHSB out of Tormella (Canadian imported mare). As Sundowner was 15.2hh I think it is highly likely that Tormella was at least part saddlebred. From these magazines it is clear that there were quite a few big palomino Saddlebreds around - both Roundhills, Moonshine and a stud called Lexington seem to have had a lot of big stallions. Lexington imported a whole string from Canada including Goldmount Be-bop and Macks High Stepper who look absolutely gorgeous.
Have also found an advert (but sadly no photo) for Palais de Danse. It says it was 15.2hh palomino stallion "needing no introduction, sire of many winners including the very beautiful Sovereign Isadora, who has won campionships in-hand is is now doing extremely well in the jumping world." He was owned by the Sovereign Stud, Wood Lane, Mobberley, Cheshire, who also stood Indrani at that time. Debbie |

Hi everyone,
Only got a mo so I've got to be brief!
Just hit gold! Jen from the Palomino Society has just emailed me cofirming all your findings about Sundowner's relatives are correct and to put the icing on the cake - Shepley Sundancer's mum was a mare called Vanity Fair who was apparently NPS registered.
I assume NPS is National Pony Society but haven't had time to work out more.
Got to go now but thanks again you were spot on!

Eh ? That cant be right , it definately said her dam was Sunshine in the Cromer article ! Just read you other post , what you meant to say is Vanity Fair is Widdicombe Fair`s dam & not Shepley Sundancers ! |

Hi everyone,
Just testing! Sorry total blonde with grey hairs moment! I meant to say Widdicombe Fair's mum was Vanity Fair.
I'll put it down to haste and excitement you may, however, think otherwise!

Sue, Thanks for putting her in place - if Ronnie can come up with something that would be great!
Going away for a few days so after today the sponge won't be soaking up so much information but I will check to see any activity when I get back.
Thanks again,

Hi Infosponge These are the photos that wouldnt upload last time.
This is Shepley Sundancer taken from Summer/Autumn 1999 palomino magazine (an historical article about Shepley stud):
This is Cromer Carramax from Winter 1988:
And these are 2 of Cromer Chandelier from Spring and Winter 1977:
I noticed that the second picture of Chandelier says that he was by Kimberley Sundowner which re-states the point made earlier that he was the same horse as Sundowner.
Happy hunting with your other piccies. Debbie

I have Vol V1 of the PBA register, and I think it must have once been owned by the AHS as it has the signature of the then registrar on the front.
Anyway the entry for Sundowner (1961) has the word Kimberly inserted in hand writing above it, and also hand written is 50% and his MOA Number.. Also in the same volume is a filly called Kingsettle Maravedi (1958) Palomino by Li-Fellah's Kismet AASB Vol 5 out of Tormella bred by Mrs Howell, so Tormella has to be the palomino/cream as the stallion was chestnut.
There are often spelling errors for Starguard, even in the stud books. He was grey. |

Lynda, Thanks for the offer of help, I'm after breeding info for Eclipse(the dam of Sun Sprite 1969), mares used to breed Palomino's, it would be interesting to learn if any have entires in your VI, as I think they are Part Bred Arabs. Lovely Pic of Shepley Sundowner, now added to his allbreeds pedigree,and its looking almost complete, he looks like my sort of horse, no wonder he got used so much..Any idea where this picture/show was, as the photographer was a Birmingham man and it may have been local to me...Shepley & Monclare.
Still searching pictures of any from Sundowner & Shepley Sundancers lines...so keep searching folks...
Still after someone with PBAR Vol.V. to help here....( Ihave X, LYnda has VI).
Sue
Thanks Sue... |

Hi everyone,
Special thanks to Debbie for the wonderful pics. It's really nice to see the actual horses behind all these names!
Following your information, Lynda, I have gone back to the BPS asking this time about Tormella and I will report back any further findings, so thank you for your information regarding Mrs Howell. Also, you no doubt understand what an MRO number is and may glean something from the 50% mentioned can you enlighten me?
Felicity at the BPS has been really helpful re. Vanity Fair. She has traced a pony called Vanity Fair to their Stud Book Vol.30 year 1956-1960. She was registered at that time as a Polo pony. The entry says that this chestnut mare was foaled in 1941 but at the time the stud book went to print was known to be deceased. The breeder was unknown but the owner was recorded as Mrs.E.Cox for whom there were no details. The sire was recorded as Brownie and the dam recorded as unknown.
Felicity also noticed that Widdicombe Fair was also registered as a Polo pony the following year and appears in Vol 31 of the BPS Stud book.
This information allowed me to find a Vanity Fair (1941) on existing Allbreeds data and here it says Vanity Fair was a 15hh chestnut Riding Show Hack by the TB Brownie (1931) with full breeding entry out of a TB called Mr. Toots mare (1937) for which there are at present no breeding entries.
So that was an excellant result all around.
I think most of my breeding gaps have now been filled thanks to all your efforts, however, if anyone happens to notice a photo or information about Cromer Caress (I have all her breeding now) I would love to see it and if anyone has the time to update allbreeds with this info above I would be greatful as I wouldn't trust myself to do it!
Thanks again,
Chris |
